Whitening your teeth at home!

Hellooo guys:)

♥I know my last post wasn't anything "beauty" related. So I decided to give you all a little insight to my weekly routine of teeth whitening:)

ingredients & equipment:
♥Bicarbonate of Soda

♥Half a lemon/lime

♥And a little dish to mix

♥Teaspoon

♥A toothbrush you don't use normally

♥Next, you need to take a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and pour it onto the dish.

♥Then, using the half of lemon or lime, squeeze the juice onto the bicarbonate powder. But not all of the juice because you want to form a paste and not a liquid.

♥Using a different toothbrush to your normal one, mix the juice and the Bicarbonate powder together to form a paste. If you have used too much juice, then just add more Bicarbonate and visa versa.

♥The formed "paste" should look something like this and be a mix of runny and thick. >>

♥Then, you taking the dish and toothbrush to your bathroom so you don't make a mess, brush the paste all over your teeth. Before you ask me, yes it probably will taste horrible, but doing it once a week, you get used to the taste. (make sure you do not swallow any of the paste!)

♥Then rinse your mouth out afterwards with water, making sure you haven't swallowed anything.

♥When you are done, brush your teeth with your normal toothpaste and toothbrush, and you may notice a difference straight away, however I only noticed small differences and gradually as the weeks went by, they got whiter and whiter and people started to notice which I was happy about.

♥I would recommend only doing it once a week, as more than that could destroy the natural enamel on your teeth and make them very weak. So, once a week!

Hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful!

Lunch in a country cottage

Hiyaa fellow beauty lovers, 

♥So the other day, I went to the countryside to see some family friends. When I was there we had the cutest lunch spread:

salami, prosciutto ham, blueberry and chocolate muffins, chocolate twists, brie cheese, warm crusty bread, cookies and tea.

♥It was so cute and tasted delicious, not to mention the three cups of tea I had.

♥mmm... blueberry muffins :3

♥Chocolate twists :3

♥I love the cottage look in this house, garlic, herbs and little wicker items. I just loved the look of how she placed them in her house. I know I will be having items like this when i eventually move out :D

Sorry for such a random post and how short it is, I just wanted to share with you my cute little outing.

Be posting soon. Comment, share and follow.

Pamper Evening

Hello my lovelies,


♥So I was recently inspired to do a pamper evening post. I always spend at least an evening a week where I take out a few hours for a relaxing routine to keep my stress levels balanced and to just have time to myself.

♥I usually start the evening by running a bath, lighting some candles and then washing my face with my cleanser to open the pores so that the steam from the bath can do its job.

♥I always add bubbles to my bath, because I feel more relaxed with them and I dunno, I think it just adds to the effect, and sometimes you can get bubble bath that adds colour your bathwater, like the products from Lush and it just makes a difference.

♥Once i'm in the bath, i'll use a body scrub and exfoliate all over my body to get rid of dead skin and to keep my skin soft and nourished. Then once its all washed off, a normal shower gel or body oil for shaving. Once i'm all clean and refreshed I'll either read a book or play a game on my phone, whilst having some relaxing or quiet music on in the background. 

Currently, I am reading a novel called 'The Road'.
I'm enjoying it, but it is quite graphic and depressing.

♥Once you're all done relaxing and you feel like you've finished in the bath. I like to wash my hair because I don't like washing it in bubble bath and because it's coloured and I don't want it to mix it with the bath water. Once I've finished washing my hair. I'll do a face mask. I really like using seaweed 'peel off' masks because it leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and I find 'peel off' masks much cleaner to take off and they don't make as much mess. 

Looks like I'm naked. hehe. Seaweed mud mask.

♥Whilst the mask is setting for the 10-20 minutes. I usually moisturise the whole body and then pop on my pajamas and either lie on my bed with cucumbers on my eyes or just go on my laptop and do something to fill the time :p

♥Then comes the washing off of the mask or in this case the 'peeling off'.

♥Then I'll finish off with my evening skin care routine, moisturiser or liquid gold and that's the 'pamper evening' done.

♥I hope you enjoyed this blogpost and found it useful, has it inspired you to have a pamper evening tonight? 

♥Comment, follow and share, I'd love to hear about your pamper evenings and how they differ to mine:)

Primark Haul!

Hellooooooooooooo internettt ;)

Primark Haul :3

♥I would like to share with you some of the things I bought from Primark recently. I know a lot of people do not like primark for various reasons, however I like how cheap the clothes are and yet of the same quality as some other expensive stores. As much as I love Topshop, I don't wanna spend £50 on a dress I can get for £15 in Primark.

So, here we go:

♥The first item I bought was this flowy, cream polyester shirt with frills over the shoulders and a small collar. 

♥There is a soft mesh piece at the top on both sides with small white polka dots. You could wear this with a high waisted skirt, or leggings. Or even a little cami underneath. I think its quite cute and feminine.

♥Here is a close up photo of the top of the mesh:)

£8.00

♥Next I bought another shirt, this time without sleeves, but with a white collar and hanging ties.

♥I really like this shirt, because its not polyester, it's like soft viscose drapey, flowy kind of fabric. It hangs really well. The collar however is polyester and has a sparkly sheen to it which thought was really cute and girly.

♥I thought that it would go with a high waisted skater skirt, or disco pants, or even underneath a jumper with the collar and ties sticking out as detail.

♥The next item was also a shirt, similar to the one above, but black with a white collar and a stripe down the center of the front and gold metal tips on the points of the collar. £6.00

♥I liked how the back of the top, was slightly longer than the front so it would cover your bum if you wanted to wear it with just leggings or disco pants or whatever.

♥The gold collared tips add some detail to the top which I think is essential and I really enjoy wearing this top under jumpers with the collar poking out the top because of the gold tips. I also have this shirt in a khaki green with a black collar and black stripe. £6.00

♥I then went over to the skirt/dress area and I bought a black and a khaki textured skater skirts for only £8.00 each.

♥Sorry for the bad photo, but I did manage to pick up the textured look it has. It has an elasticated waist and comes with a belt, but I never use the belts they provide. 

♥I just thought it would look cute with some tights, a shirt or a jumper and some boots or brogues. 

♥The last item I bought was a midi plain grey bodycon dress. 

It looks horrible on the hanger, so I found a image of it on the internet for you to get an idea of how it fits on the body.

♥It's very tight fitting, and is so comfortable. It ends just a bit below the knees it can be very elegant or casual.

♥The material is very soft and I thought it would look good with some Docs or a collar necklace or even a bowler hat. 

I just loved the ideas it brought and I cant wait to wear it!

♥Thumbs up for a headscarf and for how long my pixie cut is getting!!

Bye and I love you all :) Please leave comments and thoughts and if you have any questions i'll be happy to answer!
